Illustrations of AWS Data Analytics Specialty: Certification Exam Tips

Image
I posted about the AWS Machine Learning Specialty certification and my experience with it last year. Along with updating my existing credentials, I opted to pursue the AWS Security Specialty and  AWS Data Analytics Specialty  certifications this year. After completing the latter successfully, I wanted to share my experience and some advice with others through this blog post. RESOURCES FOR STUDY For preparation, I used the PassYourCert Course. It's helpful, but I'm afraid it's insufficient. For one thing, it's a little fragmented due to two separate teachers, and it doesn't cover newer services like LakeFormation. I had to supplement it by viewing many AWS videos on YouTube. To reinforce these subjects, look for TechTalks and reinvent/summit videos - even if they are a little old - on the AWS Events channel on YouTube: Kinesis, Glue, Athena, LakeFormation, RedShift, EMR, QuickSight. I've included some links below. EXAM PREPARATION Make sure you are knowled...

What I Discovered After Passing the AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner Exam

Image
  I worked at Microsoft for seven years. Signing up for the AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner test seemed strange and, to be honest, a bit treacherous. I've used AWS - I've utilized their free tier as well as some of their interesting offerings, such as AWS Device Farm. I've also left things on, gone over the free tier, and received a charge I couldn't afford! However, knowing (and demonstrating) a thorough grasp of the leading cloud provider is a vital aspect of my profession, so I joined up. I allowed myself three days to plan ahead of time. The Preparation I began with a sample test. How difficult could it be? I instantly recognized I needed to study after receiving 50% (70% was required to pass). I vowed to perform all of the research myself. I'm not interested in A Cloud Guru (although several members of my team have passed using their 13-hour course and swear by it). My study strategy: While flying, watch the 6-hour video course and study whitepapers: Amazon W...
